How Zane Beadles Played with Colin Kaepernick During Anthem Protest

Zane Beadles went from the Denver Broncos to the Jacksonville
Jaguars. They wanted him to be a leader in the offensive line room
and had to take 5 rookies on the offensive line under his
wing. It was challenging only winning 7 games in two
years. But it helped him become a great leader. He
likes seeing the success of the Jaguars. He then went to the
49ers and they weren’t winning either. But now they won a ton
of games at the end of the year with Jimmy Garoppolo. Zane
says it is a combination of the addition of Jimmy and the guys just
picking it up and stepping up. They had a lot of young guys
who were still learning to win games in the NFL.

Scott brings up former 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick the
national anthem protest. Zane says it wasn’t a polarizing
thing in the locker room. There were guys who agreed with him
and guys who didn’t agree with him. Zane believes that you
should stand for the anthem and place your hand over your
heart. He also believes that Colin should have approached the
team first before he did the protest. Was the protest a
distraction? Zane didn’t think it was. He doesn’t pay
attention to the media. Even what the 49ers put out to their
media. But he noticed it was some distraction when they were
on the road.

Zane Beadles has the “Zane Beadles Parade Foundation.” It
is a mission to provide kids with the opportunity to be kids while
they are going through treatments. Zane gives them
opportunity to just be a kid. Maybe tickets to a game, or
surfing lessons (when he was in Jacksonville).
